Amazing lot Junior....just shared on Twitter

It will also be pretty cool years down the line, for all of us to remember seeing and hearing first hand about these pieces of history and the personal connection to it, and when it does make its way to the HOF some day I can't wait to see it in person!

nope. My accountant is new to me this year - my last one fired me due to complexities of my tax obligations. New guy asked me if I wanted to set up quarterly payments for next year. I asked him if he was insane...might need to find a new guy.

Thank you Phoneboy and I hear you on the taxes, haha! If you do decide to bid, best of luck to you. It is such an incredible piece on person- would be really cool if you won it as I know you would def treasure it as I did.

Again, thanks for all the kind words and to those of you who have shared on Twitter, Instagram, etc.. Really means a lot to me and my family!!

Can’t wait to see Acuna back in action tonight (hopefully!).

I love cards, but I always thought I would lend the uniform to the HOF for his induction (I since 17/18 saw this uniqueness to him, my hero is Griffey and still is my all time favorite- when I saw acuna I felt like he was oddly griffey like. The flair, and that he had the potential to hit 500 or so hrs). No doubt I got lucky with his career to date.... won’t lie, but that was my view.

PLUS I bought the jersey off my best friend in the hobby, who I met (believe it or not) buying the jersey. The guy is just amazing and a very good friend who I have never actually met. In fact before I sent to goldin i honored my promise to him that he had the right to buy first. He knew I was selling for my family and told me to auction with Goldin. Pure freaking class- him and I stay in touch today and am grateful to have made a friend for life.

Well, the entire market as you know jumped ahead like 5 years it felt like with covid. When I started looking at the super and the jersey there wasn’t as much joy..... the monetary value and how quick it rose, made me feel somewhat selfish. Looking at these daughters who I absolutely adore and thinking about what that cash could do for them.... I started to enjoy the items less. I’ll always have awesome memories of the items. I even made a very short video with the jersey and my 3.5 year old filmed just explaining to them that daddy was selling and that some day they would appreciate it.... for them to watch later and enjoy. (Side note my daughter saying “acuna” is super cute)

Anyway, long post- but happy to share the insights of someone who took some bold chances and enjoyed the journey and isnt bitter about the end (at least with acuna). And again, if they 5-10x in value, I’ll be happy for the buyer, as what Acuna helped me be able to do for my family, would have been greedy to not sell.... even if the items did mean a lot to me.
I love reading about someone who had a belief and jumped in with both feet and then saw it pay off. Great story.

If the 2018 Acuna Game Worn/Used MLB Jersey (also worn for first hr, first 2b, first rbi and on both “bat down” and “bat up” 2018 RC’s) reaches:

- Level 1 150k (excluding Buyers Premium/BP), I will give away a psa 9 2018 bat up acuna RC

- Level 2 175k (excluding BP) I will also give away a psa 10 2018 bat up acuna RC

- Level 3 200k (excluding BP) I will also give away a bgs 9 2018 bat down RC

- Level 4 225k (excluding BP) I will also give away a bgs 9.5 2018 TC Acuna Auto RC

To enter, you just need to post between now and 5/22, @ 10 pm. Just like last time, I will let my 3.5 yr old daughter random number generate from a list I will post of everyone who posts. Note you do not have to post about the auction to count. With that said, it would be awesome if you all could help me spread the word about this auction and share with at least one other person :-).

You all were tremendously positive with the TC super and I am happy to run such a contest again.

Go Acuna!!

Finally decided to get this graded:



I pulled it back in 2018 from the only box of Sapphire I opened.

Love the card even though it's horizontal. Anything with Ronnie on it can't be bad at all.
